Not sure about the NFL. I have a few ex minor league baseball friends that admit to the rampant use of PEDs in the clubhouse and the seemingly prevalent 'if you ain't cheatin' you ain't trying' mentality, but I hear no such from the few current NFL and ex NFL hopeful friends that I have. Of course, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen; they could just be more tight lipped about it. But it's weird that I don't hear many things related to it when I hang out with them.

For the record, I heard more about PEDs when the same guys and their friends were in college.

Baseball has its steroid problems, cycling has everything, football has its amphetamines and plenty of painkillers as well. Then you have guys who go overseas to get treatment as well, so I would be surprised if they weren't taking other types of PEDs as well.

He'll be well beyond serious competition age when any suspension is over. However, isn't getting rid of dirty officials a good thing?

I answered that in the first part of my post- “sure it is"

He wants to be able to compete in triathlons. I think the deal that he made to come clean also had something to do with lawsuits and criminal charges. I also think that since he knew he was dead to rights that he wanted to get ahead of it. I think it is obvious the guy is a control freak.

He should’ve never tried a comeback. He came back and destroyed Astana by turning them against Alberto Contador. He just didn’t bank on the fact that Alberto Contador is the most talented cyclyst of all time and Alberto took that tour in spite of Lance’s shenanigans and Johan Brunyeel efectively undermining him with the team. Lance also didn’t bank on the latest technology in blood tests which picked up that his levels of oxygen in his blood were one in ten million and that led to the other tests and the new more determined investigation in to his doping. He should have stayed away from professional cycling and he should have not been such a jerk.
